Answer;
Polar: IF, PCl3, IF5
Nonpolar: CS2, SO3, SF6
Step-by-step explanation:
Polar molecules form when two atoms do not share electrons equally in a covalent bond.
A molecule is classified as a polar molecule when the arrangement of the atoms is such that one end of the molecule has a positive electrical charge and the other end has a negative charge.
A non-polar molecule does not have electrical poles.The electrons are distributed more equally.
Therefore, a non-polar molecule does not have a profusion of charges at the opposite ends. The majority of hydrocarbon liquids are non-polar molecules.
